Traffic scoping worksheet will be required for this project. The City policy requires the project trips to be estimated using the Institute of Transportation Engineers’ (ITE) Trip Generation, 11th Edition. In general, trip generation regression equations shall be used when the R2 value is 0.70 or greater. For single-family units and offices smaller than 30,000 SF, use ITE’s Trip Generation, average rate. The project trips shall be rounded to the nearest tenth. Trip credits would be allowed for any existing development.
Once the traffic scoping worksheet is reviewed, a written response would be sent to the applicant’s traffic engineer outlining the scope of the project’s Traffic Impact Study (TIS).
Park impact fee was established by Ordinance 3142 dated July 3, 2017 and shall be charged $0.87 per sqft of building space.
Per Puyallup Municipal Code Section 11.08.135, the applicant/owner would be expected to construct half-street improvements including curb, gutter, sidewalk, roadway base, pavement, and street lighting. Any existing improvements which are damaged now or during construction, or which do not meet current City Standards, shall be replaced. Based on the materials submitted, the applicant would be expected to construct half-street improvements on the following streets:
Todd Road shall consist of a 34ft street with curb, gutter, 8’ sidewalks, 7.5’ planter strips, and street lights in a 66’ right-of-way. The improvements shall be from street centerline. Assuming a symmetrical cross section, additional right-of-way (ROW) on Todd Road may need to be dedicated to the city.
Frontage improvements along 4th St NW will not be required if there’s no site access proposed. If project includes site access off 4th St NW, the City will require this section of 4th St NW (between Todd Rd & site access) to be widened to a minimum 24ft paved width. This deviation will require an Alternative Methods Request (AMR) to be submitted/reviewed by City staff.
Eastern driveway must align with Fred Meyer access on the south side of Todd Rd
Autoturn analysis will be required to ensure the largest anticipated design vehicle can safely navigate site.
City standards commercial driveway(s) will be required (30ft wide)
Assume there will be no on-street parking allowed along frontage.
City standards require 25ft radius at the intersection of Todd Rd/4th St NW
A separate street lighting plan is required at the time the site plans are formally submitted for the City’s review.
Include channelization plan with design submittal.
Tapers and transitions beyond the project frontage may be required as deemed necessary for safety purposes.
The intersection of Todd Rd & 4th St NW must comply with city standard 01.01.11 (approach sight distance).
For the proposed eastern driveway placement, provide AASHTO entering & stopping sight distance analysis. Assume an 18ft setback from the edge of roadway and assume a heavy vehicle time gap to calculate the required sight distance.

Zone XX and Use Allowance
The site is in the ML zone district and the LM/W Comprehensive Plan designated area. Consult PMC 20.35 for zone specific standards. This type of use (private construction trades vocational school) is not clearly defined in the ML zoning code as allowed; however, in conversations with our Department Director on other similar proposals, in those cases we have made an informal finding that the proposed use will be allowed in this zone district given the characteristics of the construction trades training and hands on lab work in construction trades activities work, which appears to be normal and typical to a light industrial zone district. This will allow the uses to be established consistent with the ML zone and PMC 20.35.015

Aquifer Recharge General Report Req.
Critical Aquifer Recharge Area: The proposal is located within a Critical aquifer recharge areas. A report may be required for this proposal. Reporting requirements vary based on the proposed use of the property. Most land subdivisions for example, will not trigger these report requirements for the purposes of subdividing the land, but may be triggered by future planned use of the land. Activities that do not cause degradation of ground water quality and will not adversely affect the recharging of the aquifer may be permitted in a critical aquifer recharge area and do not require preparation of a critical area report; provided, that they comply with the city storm water management regulations and other applicable local, state and federal regulations. These activities typically include commercial and industrial development that does not include storage, processing, or handling of any hazardous substance, or other development that does not substantially divert, alter, or reduce the flow of surface or ground waters. Activities that have the potential to cause degradation of ground water quality or adversely affect the recharging of an aquifer may be permitted in critical aquifer recharge areas pursuant to an approved critical area report in accordance with PMC 21.06.530 and 21.06.1150. These activities include: Activities that substantially divert, alter, or reduce the flow of surface or ground waters, or otherwise adversely affect aquifer recharge; The use, processing, storage or handling of hazardous substances, other than household chemicals used according to the directions specified on the packaging for domestic applications; The use of injection wells, including on-site septic systems, except those domestic septic systems releasing less than 14,500 gallons of effluent per day and that are limited to a maximum density of one system per one acre; Infiltration of storm water from pollution-generating surfaces; or Any other activity determined by the director likely to have an adverse impact on ground water quality or on a recharge of the aquifer.

Landscaping Req. Pre App Notes: Parking Lots
Parking Area Landscaping Required If the proposed paved areas on site exceed 10,000 square feet, the project landscape architect shall design to the city’s parking lot landscaping standards (Type IV standards of the City’s Vegetation Management Standards Manual (VMS). The site designer and landscape architect will need to review and integrate all the other design requirements of the type IV landscaping standards, including: No more than eight (8) parking spaces shall be placed consecutively without a landscaping island. All perimeter landscape islands (defined as islands which project into parking lots from an area connected to a perimeter landscape yard) shall be a minimum of 12’ wide with a minimum depth of each landscape island to match the abutting stall depth. All internal landscape islands (landscape islands entirely surrounded by paving) shall be a minimum of 15’ in width with a minimum depth of each landscape island to match the abutting stall depth. ‘Head-to-head’ parking stalls and internal landscape islands shall be separated by a ‘connector landscaping strip’ a minimum of 6' in width. All ‘head-to-head’ parking stalls internal to a parking lot shall have internal island ‘end caps’ to separate the parking stalls from abutting drive aisles. These ‘end cap’ islands shall follow the requirements for internal islands (size, dimensions, required landscaping, etc.). We strongly suggest reviewing these requirements as early as possible to assess and determine costs, parking field layout and configuration of civil utilities as to minimize impacts for consistency with the Type IV standards. The Type IV standards may reduce the overall off-street parking stall count. The perimeter of all parking areas and associated access drives which abut public rights-of-way shall be screened with on-site landscaping, earth berms, fencing, or a combination thereof.
